Purple Parrot Sensation Salad

This is a really light tasting, crisp, easy green salad. It's a great salad to serve at a party or to just have on the supper table at home.

6 cups mixed salad greens (2 parts iceberg lettuce, 2 parts romaine lettuce, 1 part spinach)
1/2 cup Purple Parrot Sensation Dressing (recipe to follow)
3/4 cup Purple Parrot Sensation Cheese Mix

Place salad greens in mixing bowl and add just enough dressing to wet the greens. Add the cheese mixture and toss well. Makes 6 servings.

Purple Parrot Sensation Dressing
3 T minced garlic
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2/3 cup olive oil
3 1/2 cups canola oil
2 T salt

I just put the ingredients all in a large carafe and shake it up. This makes 5 cups of dressing, so I usually halve the recipe and keep it in the fridge for several days.

Purple Parrot Sensation Cheese Mix
2 cups Pecorino Romano cheese, grated (I cut it into cubes and grate it up in my food processor; it makes nice crumbs)
1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Combine ingredients and store in an airtight container. This yields 2 1/4 cups of cheese.
